A major highlight of this year’s programme is undoubtedly the performance by Ryo Ikeshiro. Ryo is an up-and-coming UK-based Japanese artist who has been under considerable spotlight with his 20 plus thumbs-up exhibitions and performances in major cities, which defined the global media arena with new dimensions. On this occasion, Ryo will conduct a lecture, a workshop as well as an audiovisual performance, aiming to impress the audience with “live audiovisualisation”, an area where his expertise lies.
